Daylight saving in Tasmania

Put your clocks forward by one hour from
2am on Sunday 5 October 2025.

Daylight saving in Tasmania begins at 2am on the first Sunday in October every year. You should put your clocks forward by one hour from 2am.

Daylight saving ends at 3am on the first Sunday in April the next year. You should put your clocks back by one hour from 3am.

Since April 2008, daylight saving has been synchronised across Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and South Australia. South Australia remains half an hour behind throughout the year due to the observance of Australian Central Standard Time.

Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory do not observe daylight saving.
